David Bertram Ogilvy Freeman‑Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | ||
Redesdale was the father of the famous Mitford sisters. He was always known to his children as 'Farve' (naturally, his wife was "Muv'). Although he was only semi-literate, he made life interesting for his children, providing them with mongooses as pets. A keen huntsman, he sometimes used the girls as the prey, although they seemed to have enjoyed this. | ||
His Lordship had no time for books, or for any form of education that might be obtained from them. On one occasion, Lady Redesdale read Tess of the d'Urbervilles to him. He was so upset by the fate of Tess that his wife explained to him that the book was fiction. Redesdale was amazed. 'What! The damned fellow made it up?' After that he never looked at another book until his daughter Nancy used him as a character in some of her books. However, he was furious when he found out that he didn't have a part in her biography of Madame de Pompadour. | ||
Of his seven children, the only son, Tom, was the sole child to receive a formal education - the girls were not educated at all. Lady Redesdale had some quirky ideas on child-raising, particularly with regard to diet and health. She insisted that the children observe the ancient Jewish dietary laws. She inherited this belief from her father, Thomas Gibson Bowles, MP for King's Lynn 1892‑1906. She called for medical attention only in extreme emergencies, but any medicines the doctor prescribed were poured down the sink once the doctor had departed. | ||
